In this collaborative project, researchers are working to develop future satellites for fire management by using traditional Indigenous knowledge and collaborating on remote sensing technology to help manage wildfires.
We could see more multi-year El Niño and La Niña events in Australia, according to an international team of researchers including a scientist from ANU.
This new research examined the frequency of wildfires in parts of Victoria over the past 40 years. Scientists found that fire frequency is increasing in all ecosystems studied, but to varying extents.
“Aussies drink a lot of coffee. So if we can put that into a material that’s already going to be composted, then it’s a win-win,” says CoffeeKii team member Brett Pollard from the ANU Research School of Chemistry.
Too much air conditioning may be harming our health, according to a new study led by researchers at The Australian National University (ANU). The study found that despite spending substantially more time in air-conditioned spaces over the past 40 years, people in Australia’s Northern Territory (NT) have paradoxically become more vulnerable to heat-related deaths.
